The Word on the Street: Caroll Spinney, the performer of the iconic Sesame Street characters Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for nearly 50 years announced his retirement from the show on October 17, 2018. Spinney recorded his final vocal performances the following day which will be featured in the show's landmark 50th season in 2019. Meanwhile, Season 49 of Sesame Street began airing on November 17 on HBO. The season was preceded a week prior by the prime-time special When You Wish Upon a Pickle.

Muppet Babies Return: Following a seven year run of 107 episodes as a Saturday morning cartoon from 1984 to 1991, Muppet Babies has returned as an all-new animated series for Disney Junior. Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy, and the gang are joined by "Miss Nanny" and a new female penguin character named Summer, to "add some balance to the group".

Jim Henson began working with puppets as a college student, creating the show Sam and Friends in 1955 for a local Washington, D.C. television station. The energetic Muppets soon became a popular fixture, and led to appearances on national variety shows. Henson's commercials for a local coffee company, Wilkins Coffee, were so popular that he was hired to create similar commercials around the country. In the early 1960s, Henson moved to New York City to work on a variety of projects, including a regular guest spot on The Jimmy Dean Show for the first Muppet star, Rowlf the Dog.

In the 1980s, Henson created new worlds -- the magical underground civilization of Fraggle Rock, the imagination-filled nursery of Muppet Babies, and the fantasy worlds of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Henson's work has continued to live on beyond his death in 1990, and new productions featuring his creations are always in progress.

This wiki is dedicated to documenting, exploring and enjoying the enormous body of work that Jim Henson has created and inspired.
